Hi All,

We're going to transfer our database(MySQL) to the new machine, and we're going to restore the backup database to the new machine.

Question:  
· What will be the issue if we transfer the data to the new machine?  
· Will the ignition create a new index once we restore the backup database to the new machine?  
· Will the ignition retire the historical tag and create a new one?

Thank you in advance 🙂
